I've been toying with the idea of a "Balloonatic" game with a couple of clowns and a teeter-totter. Using flicker blinds, it should be possible to have balloons spaced every nine pixels--not too far from the spacing of the "block-oons" in Atari's earlier effort.

What I'm very happy about though, is that with Lady Bug we'll still see an Arcade conversion this year. And what an excellent conversion it is! It's been a while since I last bought me a 2600 homebrew game, but this one is a definite must!

Definitely! I just tried the PAL-60 version on my TV and is is absolutely great!

 

BTW: I am just having a controversity with someone at the German Wikipedia regarding Lady Bug. One guy really believes there was an Atari 2600 Lady Bug before and constantly removes my corrections.

I'm going to guess from context that "wird gerade eben erst entwickelt" means "it's a homebrew".

Full translation would be "is in development right now"

 

But what on earth is a teeter-totter?!?

It's a regional term for see-saw

Hey, Thanks! So John is talking about a revamped Circus here, no?

Sure sounds like it
